But the wheels on the Victory bus fell off just before the halftime whistle, after Filip Holosko headed home a Milos Ninkovic cross, halting the Victory momentum.

The Sydney comeback was complete after a long punt upfield from Vukovic landed at Bernie Ibini-Isei’s feet who with strength swatted away both Alan Baro and Leigh Broxham and finished past Lawrence Thomas.

James Donachie was sent off not long after that with his dangerous tackle on Sydney captain Alex Brosque punished by Jarred Gillett.

Muscat believes that his side let them back into the match.

“[It’s] disappointing that we are making some defensive decision that are leading to goals,” explained Muscat.

“We have got to eliminate these errors that lead to goals because they are soft”.

Despite the loss the Victory gaffer isn’t too concerned about his sides form.
